“I heard gunshots, like an AK going off,” said Sheridan Reese, who works at Earlington Heights Elementary, 4750 NW 22nd Ave. “I thought we were getting shot up. So we locked down the school building.”

Brownsville Middle School, 4899 NW 24th Ave., next to where the shots were fired, was also on a brief lockdown.

“I am taking my daughter out of classes,” said Tisha Wright, who went to Brownsville Middle after hearing about the shooting.

“I don’t want her going to school where there are shootings,” she said. “I was worried and I have big concerns that I was going to get a call that my daughter was hurt.”

No bullets hit the schools.

Janice Brown immediately thought about her son.

“They need to stop the crime here in the neighborhood,” Brown said. “I have an autistic son that goes here. It’s bad. Kids could be transitioning from classrooms or going through the gate here. I feel bad because something could have happened.”
